H.R. 2981
Technology and Research Accelerating National Security and Future
Economic Resiliency Act of 2013
As ordered reported by the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology
on December 5, 2013
SUMMARY
H.R. 2981 would broaden a program that requires certain federal agencies to set aside
portions of their research and development programs for small businesses. Specifically, the
bill would require each federal agency that participates in the Small Business Technology
Transfer (STTR) program to provide grants to eligible higher-education institutions or
other research institutions to bring federally funded research and technology projects to
market more quickly. The bill would require the Small Business Administration (SBA) to
include information about the grants, including a list of recipients and their use of the
funds, in its public database.
CBO estimates that implementing H.R. 2981 would cost $6 million over the 2014-2019
period, assuming appropriation of the necessary amounts. Pay-as-you-go procedures do
not apply to this legislation because it would not affect direct spending or revenues.
H.R. 2981 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) and would impose no costs on state, local, or
tribal governments.
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The estimated budgetary impact of H.R. 2981 is shown in the following table. The costs of
this legislation fall within several program areas including budget functions 050 (national
defense), 250 (general science, space, and technology), 270 (energy), 370 (commerce and
housing credit), and 550 (health).
